Looks great. IMO I think you need a little more contrast in the engine bay. There is way too much silver. I would go back to the stock black air box. Paint the back of the headlights black and the supports in front. Nice work with all the relocations! Valve covers look sick!

last year a had everything from the airlid forward painted satin black, but to me this just looks better. i do think maybe a stock lower airbox would look good thogh, and maybe paint the airlid to match my valve covers then

the engine bay is actually a whollllle lot of work. but less is more, and its a lot harder and more rewarding to hide stuff than to just cover it up with shiny covers IMO.
